County Road 54 is both a pair of county-maintained former sections of and a county extension of
Florida State Road 54.
Route description GIS data shows the first CR 54 on old SR 54 west of CR 1 in the Seven Springs area. It was created after the realignment of SR 54 between east of the Millpond Estates Community to County Road 1. The route is unsigned. The second segment is Wesley Chapel Boulevard which is marked from west to east from the intersection of
SR 54 &
SR 56 continuing north and then east along the former route of SR 54. The road continues east until it reaches the intersection of CR 54 &
CR 579 where it splits into two segments bearing the same designation. The eastbound segment continues until it reaches US 301 in downtown
Zephyrhills, where it ends. The northbound segment of Eiland Boulevard is an overlap with
CR 579. In the Lake Bernadette-Ten Oaks communities west of
Zephyrhills.
CR 579 branches off to the north as Handcart Road, while Eiland Boulevard makes a sharp curve to the east. This region has been intended as the eastern terminus of the proposed West Zephyrhills Bypass. After the gateway to the Silver Oaks neighborhood, CR 54 makes a sharp curve to the left then the right just before the intersection of
CR 41, and immediately after this, encounters the intersection with
US 301. Beyond US 301, CR 54 has an intersection with Wire Road and 12th Street, the latter of which is a former
SR 54.
CR ALT 54 on the west side of the CSX
Wildwood Subdivision crossing, then intersects
CR 535 where Chancey Road (south) becomes Old Lakeland Highway (north). East of CR 535, the route takes a slight curve to the northeast as it passes Forest Lake Estates, a mobile home park on the south side just before the CSX
Vitis Subdivision crossing. Immediately after the crossing, the route passes through the Upper Hillsborough Wildlife Management Area. The road curves back to straight east before the intersection with
CR ALT 35 (Berry Road), and then runs towards the bridge over the
Hillsborough River. Upon leaving the protected wetlands surrounding the Hillsborough River, CR 54 runs along the Pasco-Polk County Line, and passes through some local ranch land before finally terminating at
US 98 (hidden SR 35) in Branchborough.
County Road 54 Alternate County Road 54 is both a pair of county-maintained former sections of and a county extension of
Florida State Road 54. The route begins on Forbes Road at the northwest corner of CR 54 and the crossing of the CSX
Wildwood Subdivision, but heads straight north, unlike the railroad line which runs southwest to northeast. The route turns east at a wye intersection onto Lynbrook Drive which crosses the Wildwood Subdivision. The first major intersection is at
CR 535 (Old Lakeland Highway). From there it continues as a two-lane undivided rural road. Before Forbes Road becomes a dead end street, CR 54A turns north again onto Elwood Road, a street that runs straight south and north. Elwood Road curves to the northeast before encountering the CSX
Vitis Subdivision crossing, then changes its name to Merrick Road. After passing the intersection with Bayles Road and the Victorious Church of God in Christ, the road turns straight west and east. CR 54A ends at
CR 35A (Berry Road). It's possible that at one time the route turned southeast and overlapped CR 35A to the southern terminus with CR 54 near US 98. ==County Road 77==
